Polymorphs of Poly(vinylidene Fluoride) Result in Differing Cellular Attachment and Proliferation

摘要

Our results suggested that polymorphs with similar surface roughness can result in differing metabolic activity and proliferation rate in cells. Particularly, 90.2% β-phase PVDF promotes higher cellular proliferation and metabolic activity. Such viariation can potentially be exploited for different biomedical applications.
